6 Easy Ways To Motivate Yourself to Get Back Into Shape

For many people, getting back into consistent fitness training, particularly when using weights, can be challenging.

All too often many people give up on their physical body conditioning due to other interests and commitments that enter their lives - particularly as they get older, or they simply find the regularity and routine becomes a bit mundane. In many cases, the time-lapse between the last time they completed a serious workout and when they decide to start up again could be years - in some cases, decades. 

Unfortunately, having quit an activity such as regular weight training, especially over a number of years, can result in unwanted, but inevitable consequences. These include diminished strength, weight gain (or more specifically, fat gain,) a decrease in general activity levels and loss of motivation. 

Those keen on making a comeback to start training again, even if only to lose weight and feel better about themselves, can find things just as frustrating. Being unused to having lost some their former fitness and muscle mass is bad enough, but for those in particular who didn't learn proper technique and posture when they started training when they were younger, find they cannot rely so much on their bodies suppleness and vigour to see them through the demands of strength exercises, increasing their risk of injury. 

Like any exercise, if using weight training as part of a fitness routine it has to be carried out regularly and routinely for it to have any meaningful, positive impact - and the desired results of a leaner, toned body, weight loss and more confidence. That means attending a lot of gym sessions - either at the local gym at home or wherever else the workouts will take place, which translates into a great deal of time and commitment, regardless of what level anyone's at.

 This repetitiveness can sometimes become tedious, and even for those with the best intentions, the sight of the ultimate reward of why they started up again in the first place can be lost. Despite all these challenges however, starting up weight training again can be a successful endeavour. All that's needed is for someone to come into it with a different perspective, a new outlook. This can help individuals realise the rewards that make their time and dedication worthwhile - and help regain their passion and belief for training, and keep them in the game until they achieve their ultimate results. Here are a few tips when getting back into weight training again, while keeping injury-free and staying motivated for the long-term: 

1) It's All About Technique Probably the most important aspect of returning to lifting heavy weights is technique. For most returning 'lifters' their body conditioning is not it was, and with the keenness and enthusiasm of getting back to doing resistance training again, a case of too much too soon can become their undoing. T
aking to the time to focus and re-learn (or even learn this time) correct technique and posture will allow for more efficient, safe and enjoyable lifting. Injuries can thus be avoided - less pressure being placed on muscles, joints and tendons by using correct technique, with the added advantage of quicker results being realised, which can only result in fuelling the motivation to keep on winning in the gym.

 2) Slowly Does it As alluded to in the first point, too much too soon can cause disappointment or even harm. Whatever the level anyone begins at again, it is important to not overdo it by starting with weights that are too heavy, or doing too many repetitions of any given exercise. Admittedly, it can be frustrating to start back below where you left off, but remember you're not back where you left off any longer - it's been a long layoff, with age and muscle atrophy filling in the gaps, so take it slow and pace yourself the first few sessions. You will then get an idea of how your body reacts, and when you can push on for greater gains. 

3) Set Yourself Goals Setting goals in strength training is important at any level - but more so after returning to it after a long break. This is because any gains you achieve - either in gaining more muscle or weight loss or change of body shape - will typically happen within a different timeframe to what you might have experienced in the past (see point 5 below.) So it's important to gauge yourself against how your body reacts now, not how it used to. Setting goals is an entirely personal thing. They can be longer term (such as getting down to a certain body fat percentage by the end of the year) or short term, (such as increasing the weight of a particular exercise by the end of the week) but it's always useful to remember that they need to be specific and challenging, but not unrealistic for you - at least in the timeframe you've allowed. This will only lead to frustration and disappointment. An easy way to start making excuses not to train... 

4) Keep a Progress Tracker You can achieve consistency of training when you track your progress accurately. It is a great motivator when you see your results on paper (or electronic device) - how much heavier you're lifting, how many more reps you're doing, how much muscle you've gained, your weight loss (or fat loss) - all these facts and stats add up to a satisfying experience that keeps you hungry for more. It will also reveal where you've not gained and perhaps slacked off a bit, helping you regain your focus on what needs doing for next time. 
5) Use Your Advantage Did you know that as a previous lifter, your body is naturally 'programmed' to build muscle easier than if you were just starting off? It's a scientific fact (published by the National Academy of Sciences) that even though your muscles regress somewhat during a long break, they more often than not retain some 'memory' of having at one time being larger and stronger. This means that when they are exposed to resistance training again, the body is able to employ muscle memory to trigger a much faster reaction and addition of muscle proteins. 

6) Make it fun For many people, doing anything, including exercise is more fun when doing with someone else, or in a group. 
If you can arrange a regular 'gym buddy' to workout with, this can help motivate you to get to workouts more often (and on time!) as well as adding an edge of competitiveness - which can only help to motivate and progress you further.

Multiple Schlerosis Cure

Why I Ride the MS-150 to Support Finding a Multiple Schlerosis Cure

I've ridden the MS-150 Houston 3 times in the past.

But I haven't ridden it for 6 years now. Now I'm going to ride it again. For some reason I really do miss the cramping legs, the aching shoulders, the numb hands, the numb... well never mind... 

, the saddle-soreness that lasts 2 weeks afterward, the sunburn, the training, the thirst, the bugs flying into your mouth, the flat tires, the headwinds, the road-rash from the collisions and falls, the sleeping-bag-on-the-ground at the La Grange fairgrounds the first night.

 Not to mention the joyous waving and cheering crowds throughout the entire 180 miles, the endless jokes and laughter-filled camaraderie during the ride, the bands and music and smiling faces at the rest 

stops, the women who flash you to help keep you going, the stunning beauty of Bastrop State Park (moreso before the Big Fire there), riding into the finish line in Austin to thousands upon thousands of fanatically cheering people including those suffering from 


MS standing right in the front, the comradeship and encouragement of the fellow riders on your team when you get to the point when you're pretty sure you can't ride even another mile, and course the millions of dollars raised to help those poor folks with MS.

 The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising cycling ride organized by the National MS Society: Lone Star. This ride is the largest event of its kind in North America. In 2013, the event raised more than $18.1 million for MS.

 Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord). It is thought to be an autoimmune disorder. This means the immune system incorrectly attacks the person's healthy tissue. 

MS can cause blurred vision, loss of balance, poor coordination, slurred speech, tremors, numbness, extreme fatigue, problems with memory and concentration, paralysis, and blindness and more. 

These problems may be permanent or may come and go. The Houston MS-150 ride is a 180-mile journey for MS from Houston to Austin. 
The ride begins in Houston on a Saturday morning during the spring, and finishes on Sunday afternoon at the Texas state capitol in Austin. There are typically 13,000 riders in the Houston to Austin ride, and it raises about $18 million dollars, just in Houston. 

Plus there are another 100 rides that take place around the country each year. Sounds like a do-again to me! Hello Bike, long time no see. Let's go have a little chat and get re-acquainted. I have an adventure I want to take with you.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes - 5 Reasons Why Your Health Is Not Where It Should Be.

There are three certainties when it comes to your health.

There was a past, there is a present, and there may be a future. The lifestyle choices you've made in the past are largely irrelevant today, although they may have placed you in a predicament, as is the case with Type 2 diabetics. It goes without saying the most important time is the present moment, as the decisions you make today will determine how well you may be tomorrow.

Let us briefly go over five reasons why your health is likely not where it should be...
     1. You're sedentary. If you're sedentary, you're unhealthy, period. Your health will never be ideal as long as you don't exercise. What's more is if you're sedentary, odds are you are also overweight. And your cardiovascular health is poor. And without a doubt you are at increased risk for several diseases. Start exercising, which leads us to...

2. You take exercise for granted. It can be difficult to start exercising consistently if you take physical activity for granted. You're probably not fully aware of just how important exercise is for improving insulin resistance. Not only will you have better control over your blood sugar and weight, you will be receiving a host of health benefits that directly result from regular physical activity. Exercise is the #1 form of treatment to lower the risk of all-cause mortality. Reflect on it.

3. You don't cook as often as you should. If you're not cooking often, you're likely not eating healthy often, either. And when you're not eating quality foods conducive to a healthy body, you predispose yourself to many complications. If you're trying to treat or manage a condition such as Type 2 diabetes, it becomes even more important to cook your own balanced and nutritious homemade meals.

 4. You're dehydrated most of the time. The simple fact our bodies are comprised mostly of water should tell you it's an essential nutrient vital for optimal living. If you're consistently dehydrated, you're going to feel run down. Your nerves will also mistake thirst for hunger, causing you to eat more than you should. Try to drink between 6 to 8 full glasses of water per day.

5. Your snacks predominantly consist of poor food choices. Let's be quick to note snacking isn't always a bad thing. But if you snack like most people do, then you are not doing yourself any favors. If you have to snack, make sure it's food that is good for you. A sweet fruit or some raw vegetables, for instance.

Not sugar-dense snacks or baked goods. Ensure the backbone of your meal plan is predominantly formed by healthy food options. Talk to your doctor about what to do if your blood sugar goes up to a higher level or drops to a lower level than is usual for you

Type 2 Diabetes - Treating Diabetic Eye Disease

Type 2 Diabetes - Treating Diabetic Eye Disease 

Diabetic retinopathy refers to a number of changes seen on the retina of the eye.

 It is a common complication of diabetes, and the major cause of blindness worldwide. 

In 2010 10.2 percent of people diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes had some visual impairment, and 1.9 percent were legally blind. Prevention and treatment at one time consisted of controlling blood fats, blood sugar, and blood pressure. Even with efforts to control the three, 25 to 35 percent of diabetics still developed the disease.

 A total of over 13 percent have severe stages of the condition, proliferative retinopathy and macular edema. Fortunately, new methods of treatment are showing promise. In retinopathy, the back of the eye, the retina where the picture of objects seen is projected, is damaged. Blood vessels in the eye can become weak and the eye attempts to compensate by growing more vessels, all of which are weak and leak blood into the eye. 
--------------
Macular edema involves the center of the retina, where impulses projected onto the retina are sent to the brain by the optic nerve. The macula in the retina, becomes filled with fluid and solids can be forced out of the blood vessels, seriously interfering with vision. According to the medical journal Drugs, treatment for the condition has been dramatically improved in the past five years.

 In August 2015, the journal published an article from Aragon Health Services Institute, listing the new remedies... medications called ranibizumab, aflibercept, and bevacizumab, injected into the eye, help to cut down the growth of new blood vessels. dexamethasone and fluocinolone acetonide, similar to cortisone, can be injected into the eye in particularly difficult cases to cut down on inflammation. With early detection and treatment, the risk of severe vision loss can be cut down by over 90 percent. 

Even with the advent of new treatments, of course prevention is always best... keeping blood sugar levels and HbA1c readings under control help to ward off a number of diabetic complications. normal blood fats help to prevent heart and blood vessel disease, and controlling blood pressure is a good way to prevent both heart and kidney disease.

 The two major ways to prevent high blood sugar, abnormal blood fats, and high blood pressure are through eating healthy foods and also exercising for twenty to thirty minutes five days a week. Follow a healthful meal plan full of different fruits and vegetables and make physical activity a regular habit. Take your medications as prescribed by your doctor... even when feeling well.

16 Tips for Controlling Blood Sugar

16 Tips for Controlling Blood Sugar 

   We can control type 2 diabetes by following a diet that is low in fat, low in sugar, low in salt, and high in fibre.

It should consist mainly of plants and other foods with low glycemic index numbers, and be washed down with lots of water.

There are times however, no matter how successful we are at controlling our diabetes, that we experience 'unexplainable' swings (up or down) in our blood glucose levels. The reason is simple: we all have slightly different reactions to various foods, ie some foods will increase (or decrease) blood glucose levels for some people while others will experience no effects, adverse or otherwise, from eating these foods. To become adept at controlling our diabetes we need to know how we are affected by particular foodstuffs and drinks. We can only find this out by keeping track of our responses to them. To help, here are some notes on various foodstuffs and drinks that may affect your blood glucose levels in various ways. You should check these tips for controlling blood sugar against your own experience of how these particular foods affect you. 

Coffee Your blood sugar may rise after you drink coffee, even sugarless black coffee, due to the caffeine it contains. The caffeine in black and green tea or other drinks can have a similar effect on your blood glucose. Strangely, there are other compounds in coffee that have beneficial effects on your health. These include antioxidants such as chlorogenic acids and melanoidins, as well as N-methylpyridinium, which can boost cell defence mechanisms. So how does coffee, green tea etc affect your blood sugar levels? Refined bread The refined flour in white bread gives it a high value on the glycemic index, in excess of 70. Thus it is digested quickly and produces a rapid high spike in the level of your blood glucose.
 So you should eat bread made from 100% wholemeal flour. Bagels are often touted as a healthy alternative to white bread. Not so, if you are diabetic. Bagels contain more carbs and calories than a slice of bread... even the wholemeal ones. What is the best bread for you? Sugar-free foods These seem like a safe bet when you are diabetic. But this is not always true. Many sugar-free foods contain oodles of fat added to impart flavour. If you are a type 2 diabetic you need to rid your diet of fat as far as possible in order to unblock the glucose receptors in your muscle cells. Sugar-free foods may also contain a lot of starch, the main form of carbohydrates. You can only find out by checking the labels. Sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol and xylitol, are often added to sugar-free foodstuffs to make them taste sweet. 

While these compounds have fewer carbs than sucrose (table sugar), they may still have enough to boost your blood glucose levels. Again, check the labels. Eating out Going to restaurants always presents problems for diabetics. Trying to decide whether a dish on a menu meets your low-fat, low-sugar dietary criteria can be difficult. Food based on Chinese, Japanese and other Eastern cuisines is, in the main, quite healthy. However the white rice served in these restaurants contains lots of carbohydrates. It also has a relatively high GI value which means that the carbs are digested quickly and thus can give rise to a rapid spike in blood glucose levels. Some Eastern foods also have a high fat content. 

You need to avoid these foods. You need to be cautious when eating out in other Western restaurants. Pizza, French fries and other foods contain lots of carbs and fat. No matter where you eat, you should note the foods you have eaten. You should then check your blood sugar about 2 hours later. After a while a pattern will emerge and you'll be able to see which foods have an adverse affect on your glucose levels and what foods are safe to eat on a night out. Colds and flues Your blood glucose levels will rise when your body is trying to fight off an illness. There's not a lot you can do about that except to make sure you stay hydrated by drinking lots of water. Note that some medicines can increase your blood sugar levels even further. These include some antibiotics and decongestants for clearing your sinuses. For example, decongestants containing pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine are known to raise blood sugar. 

Cold medicines also sometimes have a little sugar or alcohol in them, so look for products that do not contain these ingredients. Antihistamines, however, don't cause a problem with blood glucose. You should ask your pharmacist about the possible effects of over-the-counter meds before you buy them. You should, of course, attend your doctor if an illness persists for more than two days or so. Other medications Several medicines in common use can have an adverse affect on blood sugar levels. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are used to treat rashes, arthritis, asthma, and many other conditions. 

They are known to boost your blood glucose levels. Diuretics (or water pills) that help regulate high blood pressure can also affect blood sugar levels adversely. Antidepressants can go either way... some raise, others tend to lower blood glucose. Birth control pills containing oestrogen can affect the way a woman's body handles insulin. Birth control injections and implants are known to raise blood sugar levels. However oral contraceptives are considered safe for women with diabetes. A combination pill containing norgestimate and synthetic oestrogen is recommended, though your doctor's advice should always be sought. 

Female hormones When a woman's hormones change during her monthly menstruation, her blood sugar levels change also. During menopause, the hormonal changes can make blood glucose even harder to control. You should keep a monthly record of your blood glucose levels to get a better idea of how they are affected by your menstrual cycle. Stress When you are stressed your body releases hormones, such as cortisol, that raise your blood glucose levels... no matter what the source (work, domestic, financial etc) of that stress. Blood sugar rises due to stress are more common among people with type 2 diabetes than more healthy persons.

 You need to change the things that are stressing you if that is possible. If not, you should train yourself to relax using deep breathing and physical exercise. Dried fruit Fresh fruit is always a healthy choice for a snack. Dried fruit is just as healthy. However, as the water has been taken out, it will contain on average about three times the amount of natural sugars and carbs by volume as fresh fruit. For example, one tablespoon of raisins, dried cranberries or dried cherries will have the same amount of carbs as three tablespoons of these fruits. Thus you should only eat a third of what you would eat if the fruit were fresh. Probiotics Probiotics are foods such as fresh yoghurt that contain healthy bacteria. 

These can improve your digestion. They may also help you control your blood glucose levels. But be cautious. Some yogurts contain added sugar and fruit. You need to check the labels and note the amount of carbohydrates. Your best bet is plain or light yogurt without added sugar. Vegan diet Several studies have found that people with type 2 diabetes who switch to a vegan (all vegetable-based) diet have better blood glucose control. Most are able to reduce or give up their medications. A few have actually reversed their diabetes. It can be difficult at first but if you follow a pure vegan diet you are guaranteed to experience very positive effects on your diabetes. 

Cinnamon Cinnamon is definitely one drug that helps reduce blood glucose levels two hours after a meal. It is also a handy way to add flavour to dishes without adding salt, carbs or calories. In this writer's experience a sprinkling of this spice on his oatmeal in the morning is worth between 0.3 and 0.5mml/L (5.4 to 9mg/L). This is a significant drop (almost 7% on average) when your are aiming for a target of 6mml/L (108mg/L) two hours after breakfast. Exercise Physical activity will boost your overall health. It will also contribute to keeping your blood glucose levels under control. However, as a diabetic, you need to tailor your exercise to suit your needs. 

If you work out hard enough to sweat and raise your heartbeat, your blood sugar may increase rapidly and then drop. In fact, intense or endurance-type exercise can reduce you blood glucose to a dangerously low level and keep it down for 24 hours or more afterwards. A snack before you begin could help prevent it dropping too low. You should check your blood sugar before, during, and after you exercise. That said, moderate exercise can have a very positive effect on blood glucose levels. For example, cleaning the house or mowing the lawn can help lower your blood sugar. 

There are many ways in which you can boost the amount of exercise you do. For example, walk up stairs instead of taking the elevator or park on the far side of the parking lot near your office or at your local supermarket. Small bits of moderate exercise all add up. Sports drinks The fact of the matter is that all you need after a workout is plain old H2O. Indeed unless you have had an extreme workout, plain water will replenish your fluids adequately. Sports drinks are usually full of sugars, calories and carbs, so if you must imbibe one, read the label carefully. Some of them contain as much sugar as a soda drink. 
Alcohol Alcohol, the world's most beloved recreational drug, is low in nutrients but high in empty calories, ie calories that have little or no nutritional value. Alcoholic drinks contain plenty of carbohydrates so drinking moderate amounts of alcohol will cause your blood sugar to go up. This initial rise soon wears off and the level of glucose in your blood starts falling. If you continue drinking then your blood glucose can continue to fall until you end up with hypoglycaemia (dangerously low blood sugar levels, aka a hypo). 

Even if you don't experience a hypo, your glucose level can stay too low for up to 12 hours after drinking. It's best to take your booze with food and to check your blood sugar two hours afterwards. Heat Heat makes your blood sugar harder to control. You are better off inside with the AC on when it's hot outdoors. You should drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, and test your glucose levels from time to time. High temperatures can also affect your medications, glucose meter and test strips, so don't leave them locked in a hot car.

How to Thicken Hair With Coconut Milk, Aloe Vera, and Dr. Bronner's Soap

How to Thicken Hair With Coconut Milk, Aloe Vera, and Dr. Bronner's Soap  

Turns out coconut milk doesn't just make a mean curry, aloe vera doesn't just treat burns, and Dr. Bronner's soap doesn't just smell good.

These three ingredients, when combined, have had phenomenal effects on my hair's thickness, color and overall health.

Here's the recipe: 1/4 cup coconut milk (I use organic) 1/4 cup aloe vera juice (I use George's 100% Aloe Vera Juice, and I order from Amazon) 3 tablespoons Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap (I use lavender or hemp tea tree, and I get it at my local grocery store or Target)

 Here's the process: Mix all ingredients together and pour into a spray bottle. The contents will settle between uses, so shake well before applying. Spray hair, focusing on roots. Massage into scalp and enjoy the rich lather! Here's why your hair will love this: The primary ingredient in this recipe is coconut. 

The first ingredient in Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap is coconut oil, and coconut milk is made out of... well, coconut. Why is this important? Coconut oil has been proven to actually regrow hair. Furthermore, I've researched what the Top 10 nutrients are that promote hair growth, and this simple recipe is packed with eight out of the top ten! Below are the top nutrients for hair. I've placed a double asterisk next to the eight that are in this recipe. 


1. Protein** Our hair is about 97% protein. Therefore, foods rich in protein are literally giving us the building blocks for our hair. Without enough protein, our bodies can't replace the hairs that we naturally shed every day, and what we do make can be dry, brittle, or weak. How can we tell if we're getting enough protein? For a sedentary person, the suggestion is to have 1.2 grams per kg of body weight. For people with disease, the suggestion is 1.5 grams. And for active individuals, the suggestion is 1.8 grams. So for example, I weigh 130 pounds. My weight in kilograms is 130/2.2, which equals 59 kg. I'm a pretty active person, so I should use the 1.8 grams suggestion. Therefore, I should have 59 x 1.8, which equals 106.2 grams of protein a day. 

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids** About 3% of our hair shaft is made up of omega-3 fatty acids. They are also found in the skin of our scalp as well as the natural oils that keep our scalp and hair hydrated. Our body does not produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own, so we need to get it from external sources. 

3. Biotin Too little biotin can lead to hair-thinning and even loss. Because of its follicle-boosting properties, you will find biotin in the list of ingredients in many hair-thickening shampoos and products. 

4. Copper** This mineral helps keep our natural hair color rich and lustrous. 

5. Zinc** Like biotin, a lack of zinc can lead to hair loss. Too little zinc can also cause a dry, flaky scalp. 

6. Beta-Carotene** This is an antioxidant that our bodies convert to vitamin A, which helps protect and produce the oils that sustain our scalp. Being low on vitamin A can cause itchy, annoying dandruff.

 7. Iron** Iron helps carry oxygen to our hair follicles. Just as we need oxygen to breathe, so too does our hair. Breathing keeps them alive and vibrant. Too little iron, which is known as anemia, is a major cause of hair loss.

 8. Folate** The supplement form of this nutrient is folic acid. When I expressed to my doctor that I was concerned about my hair thinning, she recommended I take a folic acid supplement. It promotes faster and thicker hair growth.

 9. Vitamin C** Vitamin C is critical for circulation to the scalp. It supports the tiny blood vessels that feed the follicles. Too little C in our diet can lead to hair breakage. 10. Vitamin B5 Also known as pantothenic acid, this vitamin is a common ingredient in hair care products. Here's to having a good hair day!

Hair Transplant Procedure and Importance of Choosing an Experienced Hair Surgeon

Hair Transplant Procedure and Importance of Choosing an Experienced Hair Surgeon

Is it possible to get rid of baldness?

A person with thin or no hair undergoes lots of emotional stress and embarrassment.

He or she does not want to go out in the public out of fear people will laugh at them. Baldness or reduced hair is a common problem in both men and women. However, the good news is now it is possible to get rid of baldness with a surgery. 

Hair transplant versus wearing wigs Many of you might believe wearing wigs is a good option over a costly hair surgery. However, the main problem with wigs is that they do not look as good as natural looking hair. Your friends and colleagues will easily find the truth resulting in sinking down of your self-esteem and confidence. So, you can go for hair transplantation to get the most natural result. Choosing the best surgeon Hair transplant is a very delicate and time-consuming procedure. You must consult an experienced, reputable hair surgeon who has done successful surgeries before. 

He will patiently listen to your case, go through your medical history, check your current health condition and suggest a procedure that is best for removing your baldness permanently. While you may find many surgeons promising the best treatment in the region, you should choose a hair surgeon only after going through his level of experience. For example, for how many years he is in the medical profession? Is he capable of performing grafts, FUE treatment, etc.? How much the procedure costs? You must have answers to all these questions before selecting a surgeon. 

Methods to opt for There are two basic types of transplantation - FUT (Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). In case of FUT treatment, your surgeon will remove hair from the donor strip while in the FUE technique the surgeon will remove hair one by one directly from the donor area follicle by follicle. He will transplant the plucked hair in your thinning or bald areas. It is only a good expert surgeon who uses state of the art method to give you natural looking hair and a youthful appearance. He will recommend the best type of treatment to produce the most natural result. 

The clinic you visit must not only have experienced doctors but also friendly and caring staffs. Is the process painful? Although our scalp is a pretty delicate area and the very idea of any cuts on the head might be scary, yet new advanced methods of today make the procedure less painful and more comfortable. Your surgeon will give local anesthesia to numb the area where they will plant donor hair. I know a few people who underwent transplant and they said they haven't experienced any pain or discomfort at all. 

You can go for an advanced follicular unit treatment where you will be ready to leave for home on the same day the surgery took place. If you chose the FUSE technique, you will not need any stitches. How much the surgery costs? A typical hair replacement may range from $3500-$20,000 per session depending on how good is your surgeon, how many grafts you need, etc. 

Follicular Unit Extraction treatment is pretty costly and only a specialist can do it. While the price of FUE grafting may range anywhere from $7- $12 US dollars, FUT method requires you to pay close to $4-7 per graft. The charge of grafting is however cheaper in countries like India.

4 Reasons You Aren't Losing Weight

4 Reasons You Aren't Losing Weight.

It's the dream of every person interested in losing weight to lose as much weight as possible within a short period of time.

While some people attain their target weights within the set time, the majority of them don't.

     Have been exercising, dieting and doing all the right things and still can't lose weight? 
I understand that it can be very frustrating. If you are one of these people, here are some of the major reasons why you aren't losing weight: 

You Have Hit A Plateau Ask anyone who has tried losing weight and he/she will tell you that he/she has hit a plateau at a certain time. There are many factors that can result to you hitting a plateau. One of the reasons is engaging in the same workouts over and over again. Remember that your body needs to be challenged for it to progress.

 To avoid the plateau, you should change your program after very 4-6 weeks. Another reason for the plateau is if you aren't eating enough calories. Research studies show that if you don't have enough fuel to sustain your level of activity, you will definitely stop losing weight. 

Although, it's recommended that you exercise for you to lose weight, overtraining has been linked with a plateau. When you over train, you overwork your body and the body responds by decreasing the amount of calories that you burn. You Avoid Proteins Proteins are not only important in building muscles, they also enhance the feeling of satiety.
 They also prevent you from losing muscle. The best way of taking proteins is taking them in your breakfast. Great sources of proteins include: lean poultry, fish, black beans and lentils. You Are Inconsistent For you to be successful in anything in life, you need to be consistent. There is no way you will exercise one day and then relax the other-you need to be consistent. 

To lose weight you need to engage in both cardio and strength training exercise. When it comes to cardio exercises, you should engage in interval training for 2-3 days a week. To burn more fat you should alternate between high intensity and low intensity exercises while leaving enough recovery time. Strength training exercises are aimed at helping you to build muscle. To make the exercises exciting you should engage in circuit training. 

This is where you do one exercise after another. In addition to building muscle, you increase your heart rate and burn a lot of calories. To build muscles fast you should regularly challenge yourself. This calls for you to always lift weights that are enough for you. You Have A Medical Condition Medication conditions such as thyroid diseases will prevent you from losing weight. 

Thyroid deficiency will cause a reduction in the rate of metabolism which will result to weight gain. If you have a medical condition, you should visit your medical doctor to have it rectified. Conclusion These are some of the reasons why you aren't losing weight. To continue losing the weight you need to identify what is deterring you from doing it and fix it.

5 Exercises on How to Lose Weight 

There are many exercises that can help you lose weight from certain points of your body. 

You cannot escape from the fact that to attain healthy weight and a toned body, you need to eat a healthy diet and exercise.

Specific exercises to lose weight include: ? Walking Walking is the most inexpensive and easy way to shed off those extra pounds from your body. Just put on your shoes and hit the road for a walk. Research shows that walking is one of the best forms of exercise you can undertake and is better than most other forms of exercise like running on a treadmill. 

It helps you a lot to get out in nature and experience it. Not only is it good for your health but also reduces your stress and uplifts your mood. ? Kettlebell Traditional weights are evenly balanced, where as the kettle bell is not, it requires your body to help counter the differential weight and makes your body actually work and can even provide burning up to 300-400 calories in twenty minutes. ? Swimming It is one of the most widely recognized and well-known exercises for losing weight. 

A good long swim for about an hour will help you shed off quite a bit of that weight, as long as you keep on doing it regularly. ? Cycling Another excellent exercise is cycling, this will help you lose weight quicker than most work outs and the best thing is that if you have a stationary cycle at home, you can just hop on whenever you want. Plus it's good for the heart as well. ? Dancing Just go mad all around your room. Oh, and also you might want to clean up your area, (room), because you'll bump into stuff otherwise. 

Remember to have fun, feel free and express yourself, which is what dancing is all about. You may not have the best spins or neatest twirls, but as long as you feel the rhythm, you're a good dancer. So, you can follow any of the above exercises to lose weight. However, you can conduct these exercises in an aerobic way or in an anaerobic fashion.
 Aerobic, means with oxygen. Aerobic exercises increase oxygen supply in the body, improves your metabolism and helps a lot in losing weight. To perform aerobic exercises, you need to be at a certain heart rate and it requires a certain method to be followed. The heart rate to be maintained is given by the formula, 180-your age. So, if you're 30 years of age the ideal heart rate that you would like to be at to conduct aerobic exercise is 150. 

However, you can exercise at any rate within 10 points below your optimum heart rate and you will still be doing aerobic exercise. So, in this example you can exercise at any rate between 140-150 and you will be conducting aerobic exercise. This form of exercise will improve your metabolism and hence your ability to lose fat.
